Arthur confirms he's leaving Liverpool

Liverpool loan star Arthur Melo has confirmed he will leave the club when the season concludes.

The Brazilian has been at Anfield since the summer transfer window, joining on loan from Juventus.

However, he has failed to make much of an impact for Jurgen Klopp's team due to injury issues.

"Next season I see it with good eyes. It will be decisive in my career and I am working very well," he said to Goal.com.

"I'm looking forward to showing this new version of Arthur.

"Hopefully I have an option to say goodbye in Liverpool by playing something, to say goodbye to my team-mates, the technical committee and the fans, who have been very good to me."

"Since I arrived, [Jurgen] Klopp has treated me really well. It is an honour for me to work with Jurgen," he added.

"He is one of the best coaches in the world, he has always spoken well of me, he is someone incredible and the treatment has always been really good, elegant and special.

"The fact of being able to train with someone like him always gives you a lot as a player and I'm sure it's useful for what's to come because you learn a lot from him.

"Now that I'm recovered, I would obviously like to be able to play more, but I can understand that the situation now is different from what happened when I arrived, because at that time the team had some needs and now it has others.

"But I have the peace of mind that when I talk to them and they tell me that no one has any complaints with me, quite the opposite. Also all of Liverpool in general, they have treated me great and I only have good words for them and a very special affection."
